Quotes 

• Chester P. Runk : So I just got off the phone with Luke Fox. Mercer's boomerang, Amar's knives, even Wozzack's funky violin, Luke thinks they all resemble advanced WayneTech designs. But their nano-tech foundations are beyond bleeding-edge.

  Allegra Garcia : So he has no idea who we're up against.

  Barry Allen : What about this new speedster wearing a bat symbol?

  Chester P. Runk : Team Bat's never fought a baddie dressed like that. But they have some drama of their own. A few weeks ago, Ryan Wilder went out on patrol. She never came back.

  Cecile Horton : We got a new speedster in a bat suit, and Batwoman is missing?

  Khione : Could that be a coincidence?

  Iris West-Allen : Okay, what do we do now?

  Barry Allen : We find this new speedster. And we stop him.

• Barry Allen : I just keep thinking about this speedster, what if they're the new Negative Speed Force Avatar?

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, I feel like we just got rid of the last one.

  Barry Allen : There's something else. There was a symbol on his armor. It looked like a bat.

  Iris West-Allen : Barry, we have to talk to Chester.

• Hartley Rathaway : So you need a vibration engine?

  Barry Allen : Not us, no - the Rogues that stole your gauntlets. We think they're working together to steal one.

  Iris West-Allen : So that they can build a more dangerous weapon, one that could destroy the entire timeline.

  Hartley Rathaway : Well, that sounds super ominous. Luckily, those jackasses will have to get in line behind me.

  Barry Allen : Don't tell us you're thinking of moving into time travel too.

  Hartley Rathaway : Oof, no. I don't need those headaches.

• Iris West-Allen : I just interviewed the lab tech and asked him what Amar and the others might have wanted. He said that a temporal scanner is missing.

  Kristen Kramer : Um...

  Barry Allen : It's a device that measure radioactive half-lives. It tells you what year you're in.

  Kristen Kramer : Why would they need that? Don't Rogues have calendar apps?

  Barry Allen : Everything they've stolen - the Roemer accelerator battery... The sonic gauntlets... Now a temporal scanner? They're all components you'd need to build a cosmic treadmill.

  Kristen Kramer : Do I want to know what that is?

  Barry Allen : It's a machine that uses kinetic energy to open quantum wormholes in space and time, which is a lot of power in the wrong hands.

  Kristen Kramer : Yeah, I didn't.

  Iris West-Allen : Godspeed used one in 2049 when he came back to our time.

  Kristen Kramer : Now you're telling me a trio of murderous lunatics is trying to, what, build a time machine? Why?

  Barry Allen : Whatever their goal is, it's not all I'm worried about.

  Kristen Kramer : There's something worse than actual time bandits?

  Barry Allen : If they take a cosmic treadmill on a crime spree, they could damage the timeline itself. Just one paradox could permanently alter the fabric of space-time.

  Kristen Kramer : Great, 'cause I wasn't worried enough before.

• Kristen Kramer : We ID's three assailants from a surveillance feed. Wozzeck, Mercer, and a Michelle Amar, AKA...

  Iris West-Allen : Murmer, yeah - we did a story on her last year. She's a angry med student turned serial killer who has now teamed up with a pair of ruthless tech thieves.

• Iris West-Allen : So the Rogues' new partner is a speedster?

  Jaco Birch : Yeah. It was the scariest thing I've ever seen.

  Barry Allen : And it gets worse. He's using the negative speed, which is how he was able to dampen my speed for a few minutes.

  Iris West-Allen : Why would a speedster need a time machine?

  Goldface : "And darkness and decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."

  Barry Allen : Edgar Allan Poe.

  Goldface : Then you know the story. Seven revelers at a masquerade, killed by the strangers in their midst.

  Barry Allen : Look, I know what you're all thinking. But this is about more than stealing tech now. This new speedster, I don't know who he is yet. I don't know what he wants to build a time machine. But Team Flash can't stop him on their own, especially how if he has his own Rogue army. I need your help. All of you.

  Hartley Rathaway : Barry, this is not what we signed up for.

  Jaco Birch : But... you know, I have a son to keep safe in this town. So I guess if you need me...

  Goldface : Fine. I always did like a good underdog story.

  Hartley Rathaway : That, and if Central City gets leveled, you're out of business.

  Goldface : I said I'd help.

  Hartley Rathaway : Find out who this guy is, find out his weakness, then call us.

• Iris West-Allen : So how do we stop them from stealing the engine?

  Hartley Rathaway : Well, that's obvious. We just have to steal it first.
